It means to produce a descendent. In the Bible it was used regarding males begetting male children.

Conjugation. That's what started all the trouble in the first place.

Well, of course! No one conjugates anymore, at least in the verbal sense.

Favorite words: cantankerous, alas, verisimilitude, voluminous, plethora, among others.

Phrases/sayings: "More is the pity." "Cutting off your nose to spite your face." "Don't **** on my back and tell me it's raining." I also like the six Ps, just because I've found them to be true in my life: "Proper preparation prevents ****-poor performance."

I only now recognize that "****" should've been listed above.

So conjugation is in declension?
